The Deca sofa, designed by the legendary Tito Agnoli for Arflex, is a cornerstone of Italian design history. Originally conceived during a period of intense experimentation in the 1960s and 70s, it represents the moment furniture transitioned from rigid "formal" pieces to soft, adaptable "living systems." Tito Agnoli was a master of rationalist elegance who understood that the home was becoming a more informal, relaxed space. Agnoli’s background in architecture is evident in the Deca’s precise proportions. Every line serves a purpose, balancing a bulky, comfortable seat with a clean, disciplined silhouette. Deca sofa was part of the movement that moved away from wooden frames and spring systems toward the high-tech use of polyurethane foam. This allowed for "puffy" shapes that maintained their crisp edges—a hallmark of the Arflex aesthetic. The name "Deca" hints at its modular logic. It was designed to be a versatile system that could be expanded or reduced, fitting perfectly into the sprawling villas of the Italian elite or compact modern apartments.
